A LITTLE GAME OF POKER.

y quartet of travelling men, two from
Chicago and two from st Paul, started a
little game of poker. just as one of them
finished dealing the first time he happened
to notice that a man toward the other end
of the car was watching them with panied
expression. He WAS tall and very solemn
looking, was dressed in faultless black
with long tailed coat, high hat, snowy
white collar, and wore fine black silk
cord around his neck, connecting with his
watch Evidently the man was a minister.

AN EXCITED STOCK MARKET.


NEW YORK, Sept 3.-The scenes in the
stock market this morning have never
been equalled in the history of the street.
Every one of the brokers seemed to have
heavy buying orders, and little or no
stock was offered for sale. The fluctua-
lions were all wide on an upward scale.
Reading, which closed last night at so,
opened at 6U4 and advanced in minute
to G3. Union Pacific opened Z up at So
aud advanced Immediately to 81. Western
Union closed last night at 74I, opened at
20, and is ~. Richmond terminal closed
last night at 21%, opened this morning at
% and is now 30lS The sales We're so
rapid that the stock indicators We're un-
able to keep mp with them, and their quo
tatlous were about five minutes behind
the time of making transactions.
A reaction came and some stocks were
carried below first figures. The market
continued very feverish until late, when
1t quleted down. and became strong
throughout, though the movement was of
ordinary proportions.

PRANZINI GUILLOTINED.
Awful Scene of Agony on the Scaffold
A Wild Mob.

A Paris despatch says: Pranzni, the
murderer of Madame Regnault, her maid
and her maids child, was guillotined at 5
O'Clock this morning. He made no con
fession. Vast crowds awaited about the
place of execution during the whole of the
night and kept up IA constant bowling and
yelling. The mob was horrible. When
the chaplain who was to officiate at the
execution arrived at 4:30 a. m the mass of
people was so great that he was almost
prevented from reaching the gate of the
prison. Pranzini marched from his cell
to the scatfold with fiji m step and defiant
air. When the eXecutiouers seized him
the murderer resisted and fought desper-
ately, demanding That they let him alone
The eNecutioners overpowered him and
threw him upon the machine and in an
instant had him securely bound. Imme-
diately the terrible knife was started.
1t descended with horrible slowness at
first, but then its movements quickened
and the head of the murderer rolled into
the basket. The mob outside became
very disorderly during the progress of the
execution.

WHAT ARE THEY?
TWO singular Animals just Brought to
Now Nnrk

According TO New York dispatch
| Reicho & Brother, the animal dealers III Parl;
/ Roy, have recently secured two animals
that are likely to give the naturalists many
hours of study before it is satisfactorily cx-
planned what they are. Mr. Reiche is a
cll-infomed naturalist, and he has given W
! trying to solve the mystery. The animals
| in question are known rs He and 1t, and
| they arrived in this country i'll large
wooden crate three days ago ON the Vie
land. mr. Reiche got them in London
from a hunter who has spent many years in
| Southern Africa. He Is known only as
Hunter Wilhelm, and has had as many ad-
ventures as Allen Quatermain himself.
About a year ago Wilhelm came across a
tribe of natives near the Hambezi river in
| South Africa From them them he learned
| that 100 miles further into the interior there
was a tribe of hairy savages that frequently
swoOped down upon the neighborng
natives and carried off their women, tore
up their crops and stole everything possible to
be carried away While the hunter was in
the village a woman that had been captured
few months before returned with three
children that she had stolen from the tribe
The hunter resolved to get them if possible,
and as he was friendly with the chief
bought them for trinlletS that he had with
him and started Immediately for England
Mr.. Reiche saw him in London and pur-
chased the three "chldren'' from him
There were two males and one female, but
the female, named She, died before starting
for this country. One would be at loss

GREAT RAILROAD DEAL,
THE B. AND Q. NEGOTIATIONS Final.
" CONSUMNATED,
A Syndicate will Operate the Road In
sympathy with the Other Trunk Lines
The western Union gets Hold
of the Telegraph Line.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-RObert Garrett
surrenders to the ADVERTISEMENTS under
which the Baltimore and Ohio has labored
and gives up the control of the road to a
syndicate of New York, Philadelphia and
London bankers. The work at Staten
Island and on the line now being con-
structed between Philadelphia and this
city will be stopped and the Baltimore
and Ohio will hereafter be run in har-
mony with the Pennsylvania and Reading
roads. The telegraph line will be con-
trolled if not absorbed, by the Western
Union and the sleeping car interest goes in
to Pullman's hands. The deal which brings
about these changes was engineered by
DreXel Morgan < Co., assisted by Ed
ward Sauterbach, the latter's decision to-
day that the telegraph system was not
covered by the sterling loan made to the
railroad being preliminary to the con-
summation of the contract with the syn
dictate. The syndicate is composed of j.
S. Morgan ~ Co., Barring Bros. & Co.,
Brown, Shipley & Co. Of London, DreXel,
Morgan & Co, kidder, Peabody
s. Co., Brown Bros, & Co., of this city
and DreXel & Co., of Philadelphia. The
most important point in the contract pro
vdes that the management of the com
pany shall be placed in competent hands
satisfactory to the syndicate. a. L. Cas-
satt, vice-president of the Pennsylvania,
is generally believed to be booked as Gar
rett's successor. Satisfactory contracts
We're also made with the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroads on all business
north of Philadelphia and with all the
other trunk lines entering New York, by
which ali antagonism will be removed
and the permanent working of the Balti
more and Ohio in harmony with the other
trunk lines be assured,
In consideration of these contracts being
signed the syndicate agree to relieve the
railroad from its present embarrassment
by providing $4,000, 600 with which to take
up the floating debt. This will be repre-
scented by S5,0O0,0OO Baltimore and OHIO
consolidated flves and $4,000, 600 preferred
stock. The floating debt amounts to S.
600, 600, mostly in the shape of certificates
of Indebtedness, scrip and notes, of this
amount S4,0000OO said Ito have matured
on the first instant was the chief factor in
bringing Garrett TO sense of his posi-
ton.
